CLEVELAND - Members of the New York delegation heard from one of Donald Trump's once potential vice presidential nominees just hours before the start of the Republican National Convention in Ohio.
Newt Gingrich spoke to the delegation during a breakfast and touched on the topic of national security and how he feels that the Republican party could serve as a protector against potential terrorists.
The former speaker of the house also slammed the Republican presidential candidates who did not come to Cleveland.
"George Pataki lost, it's amazing how many of these folks, John Kasich lost I mean it's amazing, I've never seen so many bad losers, I'm not impressed," Gingrich said.
Gingrich says he also believes that Donald Trump can win New York, if Republicans expand their horizons to try to attract voters.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in New York two to one.
